Why can't Marshall's get nice things?

[Create Mr. Pitt]

It always seems like they have nothing but fashion from two years ago or slightly frayed clothing. Also there's always a line for the fitting room.

[Dasrak]

You know how it is, everyone seems to think that only Casper's are allowed to look cool.

[Michael Sayre]

We have a Marshall's here as well, and you're right, they only ever have stuff 2 years out of date (and it's usually stuff that was a flop then too).

[Oceanshieldwolf]

Just checked their online store, and the men's checked/stripy shirt w/ polka dot shorts combo should make viewers blinded. I'm shaken and nauseated just looking at it.

You know If we get 5 more posts we can qualify for KC's grand collection of C/M disparity threads

It's just that people with real shirt, not from Marshall's, are OP. The shirts fit better. They aren't as shiny. And you can get them in thread that doesn't feel like Brillo. Nerf the name brands!

Also it's clear this is not off-topic; it's a meta discussion about the nature of discussions on this forum. Please stop reflexively removing threads from the general conversations when they pertain to how conversations about Pathfinder specifically takes place. It is detrimental to the board to moderate like this.

A meta discussion and/or parody is by its very nature not an actual discussion fitting for the original setting.

Too bad Kaster's closed, I heard they had nice things.

Y'all are looking at Marshall's all wrong. They are not selling styles that are two years out of style. They are selling the retro look 15 years ahead of when that retro look will be fashionable again. ;)

[Simon Legrande]

Look, you can't blame Marshall's the store just because you don't know how to assemble a sensible outfit.

Another place they won't get appropriate attention. Satire of a discussions on the PF board are directly on point to discussion on the PF board and is as relevant as a discussion of the martial/caster disparity. We should think more expansively about how commentary on PF-specific discussion can work. I bet a lot of people would agree me; but since the thread was moved we won't see it.

Of course they did, they're divine Kaster's.

Threads in this section get plenty of attention. Sometimes too much attention.

Maybe so; but none the less this is clearly directed at the discussion of Pathfinder RPG. It's mockery; but it's not less salient to that particular topic. "General Discussion" is a broad category; it seems overly rigid for moderators and fellow user to police the manner in which we attempt to discuss a very frustrating trend in discussion threads specific to the Pathfinder RPG forum and the game itself; which is where this belongs.

[Irontruth]

Policing forums is what keeps them civilized.

Don't believe me? I recommend reading some recent articles on what's been going on with Reddit the past few months.

Also, you aren't actually discussing the trend that you're frustrated with. You made a mocking post that doesn't actually lend itself to any sort of real discussion about the topic. The posts so far are par for the course in the off-topic section, but lack much of any relevance, other than an occasional pun, to anything in the RPG section.

Pun threads go in off-topic.

I could see an argument for putting this in Gamer Talk, but not in the RPG section.

And here I thought someone was mentioning the Marshall class from 3e/3.5 D&D.

As far as Marshalls, well, if you like them they have anything you want.

I prefer going someplace like Macy's or if in a crunch a sportswear store.

Lean towards the sports wear store for shoes.

As I haven't actually gone into Marshalls for many years, I don't even know if Marshalls even has shoes!
